Thermomix Fantastic Fudge

It was love at first sight when I saw Tash’s fudge recipe here. Having a set of seriously sweet teeth, I tried Caroline’s awesome original recipe, she was clever enough to convert the recipe to the Thermomix and did an excellent job! We loved it! So did everyone else, which is why my kitchen has turned into a fudge factory this Christmas. It’s not healthy but it is really delicious. It’s like shop bought, only better because it’s home made. Actually, it’s sublime, everyone says so! It keeps well in the fridge and you can freeze it too, although ours never lasts that long! Makes perfect prezzies in little candy boxes. Thank you Caroline for sharing the fudge love!

Break up chocolate and place into TM bowl and chop for 5 seconds on speed 9 and set aside.

Add all the other ingredients into TM bowl and cook for 8 minutes on 100C on speed 3 with Measuring Cup OFF. This is really important because you don’t want condensation dripping onto your lovely fudge.)

Scrape the sides and bottom of TM bowl with spatula.

Cook again for 20 minutes on Varoma temperature on speed 3 with Measuring Cup OFF.

Add chopped chocolate to mixture and chop for 10 seconds on speed 3-4. Check chocolate has melted. If necessary, chop again for another 10 seconds.

Line a 20×20 tin with baking paper. I like Tash’s tip to brush the tin with water first, it helps the paper stay better. Carefully pour the mixture into the tin and leave to cool, and then refrigerate until set. Cut into small squares.

This also works well with milk chocolate, but we love white chocolate the best.

Do check out Tash’s tweaked version – there’s a great little podcast on the post with lots of helpful hints and tricks!

Take care when pouring the mixture into the tin, it’s super hot!

To freeze, wrap in baking paper and then plastic wrap. Fudge can be frozen for up to four weeks.

I’ve only ever made it using regular eating chocolate, either milk or white, although dark chocolate is supposed to work well too. If you use eating chocolate, you’ll get perfect results every time, I promise!

This one is, dare I say it, “moist” and quite caramelly. It is fudgey but not crumbly all though I’ve found the longer I leave it, the drier it gets. If you like it firmer, you can always keep it in the freezer, you can eat it pretty much straight out of the freezer but the texture is harder.

This is the most amazing fudge. It has been voted ‘best fudge EVER’ in our house…and there has been many who have made fudge before me. Sam, you have made me look very clever…thank you!

Hmmm. I wonder why? Was there too much syrup? The fudge freezes really well, so you could always pop it into the freezer for a bit and see if it becomes less sticky? What kind of chocolate did you use?
